Actually it's not quite like that.....Zinc inhibits virus replication in the cell. And Quercetin lets it INTO the cell, cause Zinc ions have a hard time getting inside.
Quercetin is the Doorman at a hot club....and Zinc is a hot chick....lol
However Zinc is an ion, and has trouble passing through the cell membrane.
The best food source for Zinc is Oysters. Next in order are Toasted Wheat Germ, Poppy Seeds, Alaskan King Crab legs, Chicken Giblets, Beef Chuck Roast.
Enter Quercetin, which acts as an ionophore, which allows Zinc to enter the cell more readily.
Once inside the cell, Zinc acts to decrease CoronaVirus replication.
Sources of Quercetin include many vegetables, but the best one is Capers. Canned Capers – 181mg, Lovage Leaves – 170mg, Elderberry Juice Concentrated – 108mg, Radish Leaves – 70mg, Cilantro – 53mg, Juniper Berries – 47mg, Red Onions – 40mg. Buckwheat – 23mg, Lingon Berries – 21mg, Dry Cocoa powder – 20mg, All per 100g. Excellent info and food levels: https://www.superfoodly.com/quercetin-foods/
Quercetin is available as a supplement on Amazon, and Health Food Stores. Best type is Quercetin dihydrate. Take Quercetin with a little fat (seeds/nuts), which will help absorption.
You can Bing.com it for more info.
Chloroquine is also an ionophore that allows Zinc to enter cells, and works very well, but you need a prescription to get it. It’s used against malaria. Info on Chloroquine: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4182877/
You can also use Zinc Lozenges (Cold-Eeze is one brand). These will allow zinc to dribble down your throat and help stop replication of any viruses that are lodged there. We’ve found that a regular hard Zinc pill will dissolve pretty slowly in your mouth, and will work to bathe your throat with Zinc the same way.
Too much Zinc will lead to a Copper/Iron deficiency. So you might want to take a Copper supplement, or a Zinc/Copper combo supplement.
